What do you call your Uncle's wife/Aunt's husband?

cashback

Just wondering... Do you call your Aunt's husband your uncle or just your aunt's husband?
Personally I wouldn't consider him an uncle though I know people who do.

It BeeMee

I just call him "Mick"

copacetic

so you say theres my 'aunt's husband Mick' instead of Uncle Mick?

What do you say instead of yore ma?


edit: @It beemee thats pretty weird that we both picked mick at the same time, it must
be an uncle type name.

GhostInTheRuins

Just call them by name.

I distinguish my Aunts husband from all other candidates in scope by pointing conspicuously and at close range and saying loudly"You mean him with the snot-moustache, itchy haemoroids and the bad breath ???"

* Edit because nobody can drink lots of Czech beer and then spell conspicuously unaided

My favourite uncle is actually my aunts husband so technically not an uncle, therefore I call him Paddy (cos that's his name )

I suppose I mean if i was talking about him to someone. I wouldn't call him my aunt's husband i suppose.
I dunno, it's a burning issue alright.

Naos

Eh, I call them my Uncle or Aunt.

Because they are family.

But I do tend to call them by their first name.

I would generally call them by first name, but when it comes to title, he would be my Uncle.

That's more or less the way I see it.

If you're under 12: Aunt / Uncle {name}

If you're over 12: by name

Dudess

I just refer to them by name, but if I'm talking about them for some reason I refer to them as "my aunt's husband/uncle's wife".

Thrill

I call my uncle's by their name but when I was a kid I did use the uncle before the name.

Nowadays I just call them for a loan.

The Hill Billy

I would refer to them as "aunt" or "uncle". I would address them by their forename.

Gran Hermano

Everyone knows that Bob is your Aunt's husband.
Otherwise one could never saw "Bob's your uncle"

Tar.Aldarion

Their name, I do consider them aunts/uncles.

Saruman

Yes, aunt/uncle as they are family. Maybe not by blood but family all the same. Just like your mother in law is family.
The term Family does not mean only people who are blood related. It never has. It is a close knit community of relatives and their families. My nephews and nieces on my wifes side will call me uncle.

*I haven't said this in a while hence felt the need to vent. If indeed we are related in this way I'd like to say - Hello, brother.

I call them aunt or uncle

Heinrich

Bob' your uncle

Fanny's your aunt.

philstar

they would be considered as aunt & uncle

kelle

When talking to them, I'd call them by their name, but when introducing them, it would be aunt/uncle by marriage.

Ger_Hankey

I'd use their name, but I'd call them Uncle/Aunt if I was asked to describe my relationship to the defendant, er, I mean, person...

dulpit

Aunt or Uncle... I hate it when people talk about their Uncle-in-law or aunt-in-law... They're all bloody family...
